It's been a few years since I have seen this film, but the images still stick with me. An intense psychological drama, the film explores the harrowing weekend when two heroin addicts attempt to kick their habit. The film is claustrophobic - the couple have boarded themselves into their basement apartment. The mood is stifling and constrained, allowing the audience to feel the intensity and desperation the characters experience.
There are occasional pretentious scenes where the male lead reads French philosophy aloud. One can't help laughing, but I don't think we're supposed to. If you can get beyond this silliness, you won't be disappointed. I found "H" much more intense and grim than "High Art".

This is an amazing film. Two junkies lock themselves in their house to go through "cold turkey". What unfolds is both deeply personal, and very moving. Pascale Montipete is amazing!! The weakest link though is Martin Neufeld.
Not for the faint of heart. I've seen Trainspotting numerous times but this far surpasses it. If you've ever thought about taking drugs(I'll just try it once}, this should stop you dead in your tracks. Very claustrophobic and highly instense and definitely gets the meaning across. I felt a range of emotions as I watched this movie; from depressed to hopeful to I don't know what. Great snake tattoo.
